Hi ?,Probably not the right forum to post this question but what type of bmp is it saved as? DXT3/DXT1 32 bit?Cheers,Graham

Hi All,Climbing out of Berlin Tegel yesterday on a grey damp day, we punched through the overcast cloud to the wonderful sights of being in between antoher cloud layer and seeing only cloud above and beyond, amazing sights.Then continued to climb to punch through the final overcat layer to brilliant sunshine and a blanket of white below with some light cirrus on high. Amazing sights and feeling.How can this be mimicked in FS2004? I have AS6.5 and no matter how hard I try with visibility limits and the like, always seem to be able to see the ground....Any help to replicate something similar to my RW journey?Thanks,Graham

Thanks Fred. Has been converted and uploaded to Avsim.Regards,Graham

Hi Martin,It is purely the F version. I can convert the Passenger version if there is one. All I would need is the painters permission.Regards,Graham

Hi Martin,I have done a conversion of the existing paint that was done by Shaddy Fouad at Martinair Virtual. If he is ok with it am happy to pass them on.Regards,Graham

Hi Pete,I found my problem, I looked at the Alpha Channels and they were all wrong! Have managed to sort them now and it works a treat.Thanks for the help.Graham

Hi Pete,I have managted that now using Imagetool. The only issue I am having now is when the lights are turned on the textures go funny. Any advice you can offer?Basically, the day ones are fine, but think I might be losing a layer somehow during my process.Thanks,Graham

Hi,I have tried to convert some textures from the FS2004 version to FSX verion by using Photoshop with the Nvidia DDS plug in but when i save them using the FSX SDK Imagetool, when I load the a/c the textures are there but are all over the aircraft in weird places. i.e The fueslage textures are upside down and at the wrong end of the aircraft.However, when I load the DDS textures form an aircraft that works the textures are orientated exactly as I have them, so am confused at what is going wrong.Could anyonre offer some advice where I might be going wrong, or if someone could point me in the right direction of how to convert a FS2004 texture to FSX DDS texture?This is all for the 744 and 74X.Thanks,Graham

Thanks for the replies, that worked with the blurries a treat. I really think I might have to wait for a better rig to run it though, is quite intensive and takes a lot out of the game when you cant even have buidings!Thanks again.Graham

Any ideas where I am going wrong?All sliders set to low. AA and AF controlled through Graphics drivers.AMD 64 3200+G8-KANSC-939 Mobo1Gb RAMRadeon 9800 ProI know I haven't got the greatest rig but it should at least handle the basics surely??Thanks,Graham

Thanks guys, will try when I get home..Graham

I know I only have a 9800Pro and 1Gb RAM and an Ahtlon 64 3200+ but surely this is avoidable somehow? I can't upgrade being the pauper I am but could someone suggest what might be going wrong here?I run FS2004 perfectly and have no issues at all, it is only FSX that does it to me.Thanks for any help,GrahamP.S It usually does this a few monutes into trying a flight and most settings are lowest.

Strange, I had the very same problem with the rudder and eliminating spiking did the trick or maybe a fluke??Graham

Use FSUIPC to eliminate spiking works for me....Graham

I have 25Gb free on both the drives I tried, I presume that would be enough?Thanks for your help,Graham

I am in dire need of some help...I have tried installing my freshly bought copy of the Deluxe FSX version and at the end of the 2nd DVD, everytime, I get an error to do with blah de blah.SimConnect and some install error 10362 I think.I have trawled the forums here and found a few suggestions about the 2003 resource pack as well as User priviliges and also cleaning the registry from the demo version....All to no avail, it does the exactly the same thing1I am desperate to get tweaking with it and am slowly giving up hope of ever getting it to install.Can anyone help?Thanks,Graham

Hi Len,Have just been playing with the demo version after reading this whole post and the one thing on the slider settings that made a huuuuge difference for me (going from 7 to a solid 30 fps) is the Texture resolution. Just a change from 2m to 1m has this huge effect. That only is what is causes my reduction, ,aybe it could work for you?Regards,Graham

Could always go to MS site and download, I am downloading at 730 kb/s :)http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul.../downloads.htmlGraham

Have you eliminated spike in FSUIPC? CWS can jump in if it detects joystick inputs.....Graham

Two 777's being done,757's being done... whether they are good or bad..Airbus A3XX family for me, rarely done as payware and SSW don't seem to be too rushed to get anything out and whether it will work staright out!Would love a PMDG Bus, can't think of anything sweeter :-)Graham

Well I have just upgraded (kind of) to a new 64 Bit processor, only a 3200+, my old one being an AMD 2800+. Also, changed the Mobo for a Gigabyte (not sure of model) and just a 1Gb stick of bog standard DDR Ram (3200).My FS has taken a turn for the better, I have just re-installed every add on I own as well as all payware aircraft, ASV6 etc etc and I am locked at 20fps and get a solid 20fps the entire flight.More than happy with my $500 investment...Graham

It wasn't..no, would that place the layers where necessary? If that's the case how come you need to load a flightplan there, can the layers not be generated as you go, like the updates?Thanks again,Graham

Just departed from EGSS and it was thick with snow and fog only to clear FL070 and suddenly i see the ground and it is partly cloudy....I have AS 6 and thought that might give me the full layers, and FSUIPC is set for mulitple layers, is there a way of doing this?Thanks,Graham

Surely if the review was bad, wouldn't Abacus get a bit miffed with Avsim and maybe that's not what is wanted, so keep it semi to fully positive and no fear of upsetting anyone...Graham
